"The EU, which began as six countries, is continuing its enlargement process, mainly to the east, with the accession of Croatia envisaged in June 2013. The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has been a candidate country since 2005 and is an important country in the region, fundamental to the Bosnia and Herzegovina peace process. The EU has been monitoring the reforms carried out by the government as regards implementation of democracy and respect for minorities. The first steps have been taken towards solving the corruption problem, there is a new approach to relations with Montenegro, there is greater transparency in the electoral process and a market economy is beginning to develop. I welcome the progress made and hope that the problem of naming will be promptly resolved within the framework of the United Nations. I voted for this report, as I believe that this country has created the correct conditions for the integration process to move forward, which is important for good neighbourly relations and for the peace process in the Balkans. The future of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is in Europe and I hope this can be realised within the shortest possible timeframe."@en1
